Abstract Background The objective of the current study was to characterize patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) undergoing curative‐intent surgery with discordant preoperative and postoperative prediction scores and determine factors associated with prediction discrepancy. Methods Patients who underwent hepatectomy for ICC between 1990 and 2016 were identified in a multi‐institutional international database. Preoperative and postoperative prognostic models were designed and...

Abstract Background Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma exhibits an indolent clinical course and could be a candidate for active surveillance in the appropriate setting. It remains unknown whether papillary microcarcinoma is biologically different from larger papillary carcinoma >1 cm. Methods We analyzed clinicopathological information and transcriptome data of papillary thyroid cancer samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Propensity‐score matching was used to construct a matched cohort...

Abstract Background and objectives Gastrinomas are the most prevalent functioning neuroendocrine tumors (NET) in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). Guidelines suggest medical therapy in most patients, but surgery may be considered in a subgroup. Currently, factors to guide management are necessary. This population‐based cohort study assessed prognostic factors of survival in patients with MEN1‐related gastrinomas. Methods Patients with MEN1 having gastrinomas were identified in...

Abstract Background and Objectives Duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors that pose a surgical challenge, and long‐term outcomes after resection have not been detailed outside of small case series. This study uses the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to examine the determinants of radical resection for duodenal GISTs as well as the impact of local vs radical resection on overall survival (OS). Methods The NCDB was queried for nonmetastatic duodenal GISTs from 2004...

Abstract Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) is a genus comprising around 96 species of herbaceous, carnivorous plants, which are extremely diverse in flower size, colour and spur length and structure as well as pollination strategy. In Pinguicula, nectar is formed in the flower spur; however, there is a gap in the knowledge about the nectary trichome structure in this genus. Our aim was to compare the nectary trichome structure of various Pinguicula species in order to determine whether...
